'K200' interesting goings on over there by the sounds of things. I too have heard a few disquieting stories along the same lines as what you have heard. Good job the site is a RUMOUR site or they might as well close the doors over there!
Having the words 'breaking down a lot' in the same sentence as PC12 NG would make my knees shake, even more !
Shame about the jet situation, that alone could very well add a huge interest in keeping pilots from jumping ship. The jet would be easier to operate anyway so it can't be a skills problem.

At the end of the day youngish pilots coming along to the Western Ops section flying just a SE plane (no glamour in that) will soon get itchy feet when the majors start hiring again but a small jet in the system may make a few think twice. Foresight isn't always obvious in some larger Co's

Will be a very interesting year this year for all involved in contract work.

Good luck to the WA drivers over there, I does take a certain mindset to do the job of aeromed work & at times in the face of stupidity
